On an import yes, but none of my domestics has ever had the shocks replaced before 150,000 miles. One was driven over 300,000 with the original shocks, and two had right at a quarter of a million miles with the original shocks. Our current GM has 90,000 miles and has not even had a brake job yet, let alone shocks. Shocks should last way longer than 70,000 miles, unless all the driving is on very rough roads. I have virtually never had ANY repairs on my domestic vehicles in 100,000 miles.

1995 Pontiac Trans Sport SE 3.8 from North America

Summary:

Faults:

Power sliding door did not operate. This was due to me leaving the interior lights on and draining the battery which freaked out the power module. Pulled the battery terminal and waited a few minutes, reconnected the battery and the power door worked fine. Killed a battery because I left the interior lights on overnight too many times :)

General Comments:

Had been a great vehicle for our family. Great power for a minivan and very comfortable.

No door dings in the body panels because they are plastic - car looks like new after 5 years.

I used this car to haul building materials AND paving bricks weighing over 1400 lbs (several times)!

Who ever filled out this survey, thanks a bunch. You just saved me from tearing apart the door, the wiring, and the back interior (which houses the power door motor). I was having trouble with the door not operating. Having found this survey reminded me that I had this problem before and it was related to the battery running down. Anyway pulled the negative terminal, waiting, reconnected and after a couple of pushes on the button, the door started to operate again. My thanks.
